A lot of the time it leads to really interesting results and it&#39;s like an automatic stopper for making those images that anyone could have made(which -in my experience- tend to be the same images that get pink starred a lot).<br /><br />I&#39;d love to see you showing us pictures that you feel really deserve their space on this blog.Sarannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01324603585428673033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696994469230140709.post-45207821451378605222012-03-23T09:07:48.286+01:002012-03-23T09:07:48.286+01:00Just to add, my doing this has coincided with my m...Just to add, my doing this has coincided with my moving towards using film almost exclusively, instead of digital - I think you&#39;re right in that film lends itself naturally to having more purpose in taking the photographs, rather than just snapping away and seeing what you can do with it in the computer afterwards, which is what tends to happen with digital (at least with me).Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04748086692095484212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696994469230140709.post-75770990310390860222012-03-23T09:05:37.574+01:002012-03-23T09:05:37.574+01:00I totally get where you are coming from in this po...I totally get where you are coming from in this post. Coincidentally, I&#39;m on a similar journey myself, and have vowed to not create those images that I make purely with the thought that they&#39;ll be popular (or will sell well on Etsy, or whatever). It&#39;s a very shallow exercise, and not at all rewarding. It is a shame that the images we are most proud of are the ones that seem to get less attention, but as you so rightly say, that shouldn&#39;t really matter, as long as they are good and valid to us. :-)Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04748086692095484212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696994469230140709.post-58400376465417972052012-03-23T07:53:07.729+01:002012-03-23T07:53:07.729+01:00Anna, whether your photos are good or bad is your ...Anna, whether your photos are good or bad is your choice; that&#39;s the whole point. Of course, it&#39;s good to get a positive reaction, like I said if someone is moved in some way by your image that feels so brilliant. But ultimately it is something you have to feel for yourself, make work YOU are proud of regardless. As an example, I love the blog http://grassdoe.blogspot.com Jonathan has the most beautifully curated film photography, but he doesn&#39;t invite comment at all because he has faith in the authenticity of his work.suziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00294031837043482355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696994469230140709.post-60425082028066427892012-03-23T07:41:13.276+01:002012-03-23T07:41:13.276+01:00I&#39;m so relieved you agree with me!

I think generally those of us who choose to shoot with film automatically think it up, perhaps a little too much at times, because we can&#39;t afford to be wasteful with film and need to really work out the value of the photograph even before we trip the shutter.suziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00294031837043482355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696994469230140709.post-35972532374914034012012-03-23T02:09:10.385+01:002012-03-23T02:09:10.385+01:00Frankly speaking I&#39;ve started to be less and l...Frankly speaking I&#39;ve started to be less and less concerned about how my good my photos are at times, frankly because I have no idea if they are good or not.

And no, I don&#39;t think you taking yourself too seriously - you are bringing soul and truth to your work. And I, personally, love that.A.
